除了有些已被基因决定之外，我们所知的一切都是由过去经验而来，反映了我们对过去事件的记忆。记忆涉及了大部分人类认知的范畴，从短暂记得电话号码，或者你把你的钥匙放在哪里，到语言的学习以及推理的能力。本课程概括论述了人类记忆与学习的相关文献，包括记忆认知与神经组织的考量因素、记得与遗忘的基础，及错误记忆的本质。认知理论和行为证据，会和神经心理学、脑功能成像所得资料整合在一起。
Other than that which is genetically coded, everything we know is derived from and reflects memory for our past experiences. Memory is intimately involved in most, if not all, domains of human cognition, from the ability to temporarily remember a phone number or where you placed your keys to the acquisition of language and the ability to reason. This course surveys the literature on human memory and learning, including consideration of the cognitive and neural organization of memory, the basis of remembering and forgetting, and the nature of false memories. Cognitive theory and behavioral evidence will be integrated with data from neuropsychology and functional brain imaging.
